This week, we're taking a break from our regular episodes for a one-shot game of The Lost Bay. Join us as we try to find our way through the darkness and out of the mall.

Special thanks to Kris for writing and running the adventure, and to Danny for coming on to play with us. Kris didn't have any media links he wanted to provide, but Danny can be found with the handle @dannyrmendoza on Twitter and Instagram.

Additional thanks to Iko for organizing the All Flesh Is Surplus jam, and to David (Verdant Core) for managing the signup sheet for all of the different games played during the jam. You can find more information about the jam, including a sale which runs until November 1st, at thelostbaystudio.com.

We used a bit more profanity than normal during this game, so listener discretion is advised.

Hurricane Helene hit our region of East Tennessee hard. While we both got out safe and sound, many folks in nearby communities weren't so lucky. If you want to help in this area specifically, please consider making a donation to the East Tennessee Foundation's Neighbor to Neighbor Fund. You can find their information and online donation link here: https://easttennesseefoundation.org/grants/neighbor-to-neighbor-disaster-relief-fund/

Also, we have a content warning for this episode. Once we get to character creation (at ~39 minutes), the conversation does start to get into topics of bullying, as well as references to emotional and domestic abuse. While we don't go into anything graphic or specific, listener discretion is still advised.
